disability at 30 weeks and depressed

I threw my back out and can barely move. I am 30 weeks and my doctor has put me on disability. It helps the back pain, but I'm getting really depressed at being home all the time. I feel like such a loser that I couldn't even make it to week 36 (for my regular maternity leave). Does anyone have any words of wisdom or advice? Thank you!!!

I've been off work on disability since 13 weeks :( now 29 weeks. My disability runs out soon so I'll start an early mat leave. Don't feel stupid enjoy it and get some rest. Work is work The most important thing is you and baby. It took me awhile to be ok with being off work and now I'm very grateful and health wise it was the best thing. Enjoy the last few weeks and take care of yourself so you aren't laid up once baby arrives :)))

agreed with pp's I was on disability with my first 14 weeks into the pregnancy due to fainting and it being way too hot in the restaurant where I worked. Enjoy the time that you have left and rest until baby comes. *hugs*
